I'm trying to find the source, but I think they are referring to some of the different counties/regions within Scotland voting almost 50/50, not Scotland as a whole.
Found it: Source
Although there was only a couple of regions that voted below 55% Remain.
Ah thanks. Interesting. Most of them are indeed above 55 then.

Quote:almost every Scottish voting area was within 10%ish of the 50/50 mark
The emphasis was on the fact whilst Scotland did vote 62% to remain a member of the EU, in quite a few regions it was much closer then the SNP would of liked. It certainly wasn't an overwhelming majority of 75%+ of the vote.
I think I see what you mean.
Well, the thing I was also getting at is that 62/38 is actually very unbalance already. It's not just 12% over 50 (half), but a difference of 24% between both, which means a equivalent of a quarter of the population.
It's not exactly small, it's usually already considered pretty sweeping in most election stuff.
